You know that I am here
Underneath the bookcase, above the bed
Retreating into silent scolds of some familiar mood
That gallops around my tired body,
I am here always.
I find the angle of the moon ray
And hang myself from it.
My feet dangle and my body sways
In a slight chilliness of human dreams
That lurch in the night sky, slightly below the snoozing cloud.
I fall asleep slowly this time
And this fall lasts three lifetimes of a blue whale.
My ocean is warm.
